In the mid 70's, when I was just an 8 year old boy, my family witnessed an extremely bizarre happening

Was the bizzare happening named "Gerald Ford"? If so, I had the same one.

I've always considered myself a skeptic when it comes to issues of the supernatural. When I was a teenager I actually tried to find a ghost. Use to go to graveyards at night, supposed "haunted" houses etc. I never had any luck

My dad, on the other hand, believed in ghosts. He was a very serious ex-military man who never indulged in fantasy or make believe. He grew up in a very old house in Connecticut that had been used as a hospital during the Revolutionary War. He said that you could move the carpets and still see bloodstains in the old wooden floors. My dad claimed on numerous instances "something" would grab his ankle and pull him out of bed during the night. He said he would sit in the parlor and watch orbs of light leisurely floating around the room. His grandpa would tell him not to worry,they were just spirits. According to him, nobody in those days thought it was a big deal and seemed to take for granted that most old houses had a spirit or two.
